the only and esclusive private Home Spa in Sicily. In the small village of Gratteri, close to Cefalu. A small house was restored by the owner designer that change it in a wellness suite with private jacuzzi pool in the natural cave and a turkish bath

This place is unbelievable. From the initial contact with Debora to the second we left myhomespa everything has been incredible. The homespa in the mountainous village of Gretteri is unique in every sense. We opened the door to serenity. Your very own Jacuzzi, steam room, and hanging bed does not happen everyday! Rita and some of the village characters met us on day 1 and happily introduced us to the laid back life of the village. The jacuzzi and steam room was luxurious. The bed was very comfortable. The homespa was within walking distance of the pizzeria. All the locals were very welcoming, they even downloaded apps to translate from italian to english for us!!! The breakfast was excellent. We would highly recommend staying here.

We had a really great time, the village is amazing and very traditional. The house is wonderful exactly as on the pictures. It was a very relaxing holiday and we enjoyed going for a hike around the area

Nick 2017-07-26T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Myhomespa only one night but unfortunately it was not enough to enjoy the calm and privacy that the property offers. The hot tub is the real jewel of the residence, located in a kind of grotto with soft lighting, it was really nice to soak and relax. The turkish bath was nice, I really liked some fragrance to make it even more unique. Only ones in the room were the lack of mosquito nets and a failure of the hot water pump, but since the middle of August, it was not particularly bothersome. Is the setting for a village, Gratteri, with all stone houses that look onto two sides of a hill, surrounded by nature, animals grazing and elderly chatting on the chairs. If you want a place made for privacy, relaxation and comfort in a very out of the ordinary context, I recommend Myhomespa.

Andrea2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

Everything was as described and so much more. Such a relaxing and intimate place to stay. Breakfast was out of this world and Serafino looked after us so well. Debora's communication was also fabulous. Highly recommend this stay in a beautiful, charming Sicilian village.

Sian2017-09-05T00:00:00Z

MyHomeSpa looks exactly as in the picture. A friendly, warm, refined. Obtained from an old building of the Spa Gratteri it has all you need for a relaxing stay. Turkish bath, fantastic ground floor superb, comfortable bed. Deborah and Markus are two perfect hosts, egregious hospitality, sympathy, gossip and all that you can expect from such a structure. Do not forget Serafino and its availability. Absolutely recommended to all!

Alessandro2015-09-21T00:00:00Z

Staying at MyHomeSpa is taking care of yourself and feeling pampered at all times. The property is a small oasis of well-being and relaxation in a tranquil setting, nestled in the green of mountains that wink the eye to an intense blue sea. The availability of Markus, Deborah's professionalism, the attentive and discreet presence of Mr Serafino add value to an experience that is already unique in its own right, given the type of structure.

Francesco2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

The location is a beautiful small town in the hills. It is very isolated so do not come here expecting exciting nightlife, it is a place to relax and recharge. It is about a 15/20mins drive from Lascari-Gratteri train station. The house itself has the pool downstairs with the steam room (and shower) on the second floor - we used both a lot! The bedroom and toilet is found on the 3rd floor, it is a cozy room. There is no air conditioning so it was extremely warm (we stayed in August and had all the windows open which meant we had a few mosquito's fly into the room!) We ate at Dimora dei Fratti (literally a few steps from MyHomeSpa) both nights we stayed and the food is INCREDIBLE, some of the best we had in Sicily. The chef, Serafino, is fantastic. Overall I would recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to relax for a few days. It was a nice pit stop on our travels of Sicily. Debora and Markus were very hospitable and we enjoyed our stay. Debora was easily contactable both before and during our stay. Thank you for hosting us.

Anthony Tobi2015-08-10T00:00:00Z

This private spa Gratteri is a unique, original and beautiful. We spent a night and a morning in this small and attractive village a few kilometers from Cefalu. We were greeted by the host Serafino, a very friendly professional, polite and attentive, which has also prepared an excellent dinner there. The turkish bath, swimming pool and gargoyles are like in the pictures, maybe even better. Breakfast, and the room on the third floor in the same way. The decor and service are well kept and the night is quiet. The situation then reserves of details that in fact it is difficult to describe in words or pictures. If you go there, you will experience for yourself :)

Gratteri is an extraordinary country where you can breathe the fresh air (even in summer!) Of the Madonie woods and enjoying the sea view at 600m height. The views and sunsets that you can enjoy are unforgettable.

The house is on 3 levels: the ground floor is the kitchen with a bathroom and washing machine on the first floor an independent double bedroom with bathroom and TV, according to a romantic double bedroom with bathroom connected to an attic room with TV and fireplace, in which there are 3 beds. The whole house is air conditioned. And 'possible to have reserved the WHOLE HOUSE, if requested at time of booking, in agreement with the host. In any case, this is done automatically with the reservation of 5 people. Otherwise the 2 rooms can be rented separately, they are independent with key and inside were the bathroom and the refrigerator; in this case the kitchen remains in common.
The house is located in the town center, where you can find everything you need. In the house you will find a guide which are given the best taverns, bakeries, ice cream shops in the area and places to visit. The house is suitable for couples and families.
Wake up to the smell of bread and the baker who bakes biscuits typical products

My house is in a strategic place of Sicily, is located in a central area of the island which can be reached from the main historical sites, cultural and natural island. The nearest airport is Palermo which is 45 minutes by car.

The house of Helena is located in a village where it is pleasant to walk through its narrow streets. The rooms are very nice and large.

Annie2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

A very authentic place to stay for sure. Streets are narrow and parking was a bit of a struggle to find, but there is a bar nearby and the whole village just looks really cool! The place itself was huge. I did not expect to have a housing with 4 floors. Our group really enjoyed ourselves there and I would recommend it!

Sven2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

In general the accomodation and the village is very nice, also the short distance to the beautiful nature reservat is great. We visited Gratteri during the winter season. Unfortunately the house was pretty cold and the provided heater was not powerful enough to make it cozy. Although we booked the whole house, Elena let the other rooms to strangers, without asking or at least informing us. We were very surprised, when we came back from a hike and we found the housedoor wide open and with strangers in it.

Lisa2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

the house is very pleasant and the atmosphere in the village is pleasant and relaxed. The views from the house and village are very beautyfull. angela who picked us up in the absence of elena was friendly and helpful.

Old are the stones, old the village, old its traditions. The house, recently restaured, softly keeps inside her love for Sicily. Wide is the sky, gorgeous the panoramas, vast the silence. You will enjoy and love the island through her.

The house stretches her height across 3 floors, as most part of her neighbors do. At the ground level, a dining room, an open kitchen and a toilet. A living room with a balcony and a wood stove occupy the whole first floor space. On the second floor, a double bedroom with a bathroom and a balcony.
My house is an old village house built on 3 levels, a ladder to the sky. On each one, a huge space. She is joyful, welcoming and opened to dream and light.
The whole space can be shared by 2 persons. A third one can sleep on the first floor canapé.

No shop along the street, no bar, no public place. Not far 2 restaurants, 2 coffee shops, a pharmacy, a post office, a baker and a butcher along the main road. Other shops around. 7 churches. Every morning countrymen drive their small "ape" around the village, selling sicilian fruit and vegetables to Gratteri's inhabitants. Some steps out of the house into the street and there you are, buying what you need.
A short walk up to the top of the village and there we are, free to chose the destination of a promenade along the surrounding mountain paths.
Dont lose the opportunity to go walk to San Giorgio's premostratense church ruins.

The house is a great base for those wanting to visit the area, as it allows to discover the life of the small village of Sicily which we didnt access if ny not live! The house is warm, functional and tastefully decorated, Anne Marie was of high availability and thanks to it we have known, grocery bakery, itinerant gardener fl beautiful walks with a fantastic panorama I highly recommend !!!

Alix2015-04-14T00:00:00Z

Anne Marie is his home: in every corner discover inner riches combined with only apparent simplicity discussing her. The warmth of his house (equipped with all that is really necessary) tells of her and her willingness to accept. You do not need to tell it (the photos and description are more than eloquent), you have to live it. I have been there very well, and hope to return again and again.

Giusi2014-08-13T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I spent fanstastical 4 days in Anne Maries cosy house. She welcomed us very friendly and made a little walk through Gratteri to show us the village and hiking trails. Thanks Anne Maire, for your time! With its three floors the house has a very unique charme that we liked very much. You can cook, chill or read in front of the fireplace. The house was absolutely as discribed and clean as well. It is located in a small street, you don't hear any noice. Very good place to relax and forget your dayly stress. Gratteri is very nice and really worth a visit! It is on old village in the mountains with small streets, small old house and a beautiful countryside where you can go hiking. In Gratteri you find a few little shops where you can buy food and you also find places to drink coffee or beer or eat a pizza. It is good to have a car to make trips to other villages in the mounains or to places like Cefalu. We really enjoyed our time in the house and in Gratteri!

Jana2016-11-02T00:00:00Z

Anne Marie did the outmost to make us feel at home in her stunning apartment in lovely Gratteri. Great preparation, regular communication, helpful tips - the perfect host. Spread across three levels, the apartment is a paragon of taste and individualism. The village is everything one could expect from the Sicilian countryside in the natural park of Madonie which is ideal for people like us wanting their quiet & go hiking - far away from tourist crowds. We were literally the only tourists there. We loved every minute of our stay and couldn't have felt more at home. Thanks much!

Soenke2015-09-07T00:00:00Z

Anna Maria is perfect host! She was very kind and helpful to us: she gave us many interesting ideas where to go and what see, and all these places were really wonderful. House is clean and there is everything you might need inside. The locality of the house is amazing, Gratteri is very beautiful and silent place. It was our best holidays. Hope to visit this place again at one day. 100% recommended!

Olga2014-08-31T00:00:00Z

Gratteri is a beautiful sleepy mountain village, worth away from the noise and a journey. People in Gratteri are very friendly to strangers, it would be nice to have stayed longer there and hike. Anne-Marie is a lovable and trusting hostess, the house radiates something special .... and is still typical. Just right, so as not to feel like an impersonal hotel. For a small family ideal, although because of the many stairs for small children. Thank you Anne-Marie

Astrid2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Anne's house is wonderful, a perfect place for a silence scape. Great for couples. I definitely recommend her place.

Eduardo 2016-09-13T00:00:00Z

This house is an off the beaten track gem. Gorgeous, aesthetic environment breathing serenity. Gratteri is a true Italian hill town, traditional and undeveloped with beautiful mountain walks, views and delicious local bread. Anne-Marie is a perfect host - welcoming and forthcoming; so happy to share her love of Sicily.

The stay is 30min from Cefalu. And it's a very nice job to ride. The room is all very well in order, but the drive to this place requires a little too much demand. Especially if you want to do something nice in the evening.

Doran2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

Mark and Deborah were great hosts. Upon arrival, instead of the room an apartment was offered to us, which had the advantage that we had a little more space and a small roof terrace. The apartment was very nicely decorated and stylishly renovated.

Heike2017-04-10T00:00:00Z

Wonderful B&B. The village is so lovely. The house itself is so beautiful and the restaurant is lovely. I'd highly recommend the place.

Gratteri is a charming small mountain village! We felt very comfortable in the beautiful accommodation. Especially the food in the evening was just a dream! Just a perfect stay :)

Charming House in the heart of the historical center, outdoor spaces (the house is not suitable for disabled or very young children) living room, kitchen, bedroom with bathroom, kitchen living area with sofa bed and independent bathroom. VERY ELEGANT

Luxury finishes (external rustic, minimalist indoor) located at the center of the old town .. but only few meters walk
We can accommodate four people, two in French Suite, and two in the comfortable sofa bed located in the spacious kitchen with a separate bathroom. On request possibility to have wine, sparkling champagne or a fee.

Gratteri is a small Medieval village of just 1,000 inhabitants, a few km from Cefalu, Lascari, Gibilrossa, Campofelice and all the villages of Madonie Park.
From Palermo airport take the motorway Palermo Catania, exit at Buonfornello (att. A few meters after the Messina junction) then take direction Cefalu, exit at Lascari, Gratteri. Once in Gratteri ask Via Notari (Gandolfo House) close watch ...

Nicolo was excellent with communication and his house was absolutely fabulous. A really nice house with modern facilities in a small charming Sicilian town (village) located up in the mountains ( a short drive from Cefalu) but we much preferred this place for its non touristy feel. ( we saw 2 in 2 days ) if you want to feel what it's like to be Sicilian stay here for a few days walking the narrow cobblestoned streets and hearing one of the many church bells chiming in on the hour and half hour. I can't say enough about Nicolo and this town !!! 5 stars

John2016-07-28T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at Nicolo's place. Before arriving we had lots of contact and the welcome was perfect. The house exceeded are expectations and they were high to start with. It's been beautifully restored and was perfect for a family of four (including 2 teenagers). The views from Gratteri are spectacular. The town itself is typically Italian and off the tourist trail which we love. We'd certainly visit again.

Iolanda's place is located in a breathtaking area in the Madonie mountains. The place extremely comfortable and clean. Paulo and co. were very nice and accommodative. Our only disappointment was that the place is listed as being an Agriturismo and from our experience of traditional Agriturismos - where there is fresh produce, bread, fruit and genuine farm food etc, here there was none. The breakfast was very basic (cereal, bead, yoghurt and coffee) and there was no food available for lunch or dinner. Also, we would suggest that you request that certain amenities (e.g. Jacuzzi) will be available prior to your arrival, as it was not available for us. Having said this we really had the most comfortable stay at Lolanda's place and would highly recommend it if you don't mind not having the full 'Agriturismo' experience.

We had a wonderful, peaceful time in this perfect house in the country. we loved the paintings and the character of the place and of course the pool. It was so quiet, the surroundings so beautiful. Can't recommend it highly enough.

dominique2015-08-07T00:00:00Z

We had a good time there but few storms have penalized us: water shortages, electricity, over wifi, pool pump down ... Maria is however rather came available and we restore the water several times. Finally, the house is quiet but also very humid.

very nice and quiet location with a beautiful view from the hills down to the sea near Cefalu. Antonio was very helpful in organizing a dehumidifier for the first days. we would love to visit again!

We'd like to stay at Pina's apartment more than one night, because it is a very cosy and well-equipped apartment in old-fashioned house. Pina is very attentive and helpfull, she was waiting us just next to apartment - it was very necessary for us, because we arrived quite late in the evening. Thank you very much for staying!

Ivan2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

In my opinion this is the best place to stay for a night if you travel to Cefalu by a car. Nice and quiet place. Host are very friendly and helpful. I recommend this place. Rekomenduoju!

L'accoglienza è stata molto cordiale e la Sig. Pina è stata così gentile da consigliarci una buona pizzeria per la sera. Abbiamo passato un soggiorno gradevole in un contesto e paesaggio molto suggestivi. Anche se l'alloggio è ben corredato, si sviluppa su più livelli quindi non sarebbe adeguato per le persone con limitata mobilità fisica. The welcome has been very friendly and Ms. Pina has been so kind to suggest a good place to take a delicious pizza for the evening. We spent a pleasant stay in a very impressive setting and landscape. Although the accommodation is well-equipped, it is also on multiple levels so it would not be adequate for people with limited physical mobility.

We had a whole house to ourselfs. Really comfortable. The view from the private terrace is amazing. Only downside were kids hanging in the streets at night, keeping us awake with talking, shouting and motorscooters. This due the holiday I guess. The hosts were really kind and helpfull. We would defintly visit again, when in the neighbourhood.
